ABOUT
Engineering software and platforms end to end.
I am a Software Engineer and DevSecOps Engineer with more than five years of experience building enterprise applications, secure cloud platforms, and AI-enabled solutions.
My background combines full-stack software development with cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, and applied AI. I build backend and enterprise applications with C#, .NET, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, Blazor, REST APIs, and SQL, while also building AI-powered applications using Python, OpenAI, RAG, vector search, and semantic retrieval.
My cloud and DevSecOps experience includes AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, Docker, Helm, Kustomize, Argo CD, CI/CD, observability, RBAC, OPA, Keycloak, Envoy Gateway, STIG-aligned environments, and Zero Trust security patterns.

EXPERIENCE
Software engineering meets platform engineering.
01
Application Development
Develop and support C#/.NET applications, backend data-processing workflows, REST APIs, database persistence, and Blazor user interfaces.
02
Cloud & Kubernetes
Provision AWS infrastructure with Terraform and support Kubernetes/EKS workloads across nodes, pods, services, configuration, access, and application runtime layers.
03
GitOps, CI/CD & Security
Use Argo CD, Kustomize, Helm, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, RBAC, OPA, gateway controls, and observability tooling to deliver controlled, traceable, secure deployments.
